Category: Dwarf Trees

Also, a dwarf 3-in-1 citrus tree, but that’s a story for another time. We got them here.

I did my reading-up as soon as they arrived in the mail, and I potted them with all the proper drainage, in just the right size pots, etc.

After a while, I did some research on fertilizing, and I found what I needed to know. Citrus trees love a fertilizer with high acid, copper, magnesium, nitrogen– so I cultivated the surrounding soil, mixed in some coffee grounds, and after a while:

Super happy citrus tree!

However, my pomegranate tree, after receiving the same treatment, began to look worse at about the same time that the citrus tree started popping out buds.

Curling leaves. D:

I read up some more on growing pomegranate trees, and found out…

they need ALKALINE soil. I misread alkaline, and made its soil more acidic. Its poor little roots were being scorched.

So, as an apology, I started looking up how to make your soil more alkaline, and I saw the same thing, over and over: “put lime in your soil! Your soil needs lime! Get some lime in that dirt.”
